9.7 Preheating the cups
When the device is ready for use, the hot
plate4 will be heated up.
• Place the cups on the hot plate4 to pre-
heat them.
Alternatively, you can use the cup you want
to preheat for flushing. This allows you to
preheat the brewing head13, filter1/2
and portafilter19 and the cup in one step.
Another possibility is preheating with hot
water from the steam nozzle8 (see “Extract-
ing hot water” on page 15).
9.8 Preheating the filter
and brewing head
(flushing)
Rinse the filter
1
/
2
and the
brewing
head13
with hot water right before each
preparation. This preheating of the filter and
brewing head (flushing) improves the taste of
the espresso.
